Patent GB-964336-A (GB)
IPC: B23Q16/02
Abstract: 964,336. Linear-dimension gauges. EDOUARD DUBIED ET CIE S.A. Dec. 5, 1960 [Dec. 8, 1959], No.41824/60. Heading G1M. [Also in Division B3] An adjusting device for the tool-slide of a lathe or other machine tool comprises a diameter gauge which is preset to transmit signals to a fluidoperated ratchet device which sets the tool-slide to increase or decrease the cut. The gauging device 18 Fig. 1 is arranged to indicate'the diameter of a workpiece 31 and is fed with the caliper arms 24, 24<1> by a bracket 1 connected to the workfeeding device (not described). The arms are adjustable along dovetailed guides on members 19, 22,the former being pivoted about a bearing 20 and the latter, for limited movement, by flexible strip connection P. After the arms have been set the gauge proper 18 is manipulated so that minimum tolerance contacts close as determined by knobs 18c, 18c<1> and maximum tolerance contacts by knobs 18b, 18b<1>. Signal lamps (not shown) light up as these settings are reached in gauging. Impulses are at the same time transmitted through either wires A, B or C to adjust the tool slide to increase or decrease the cut or to stop the machine if the maximum tolerance is exceeded. The impulses are amplified and operate an oil control valve (not described) and oil is finally fed to either passage D or E, Fig. 3, of the ratchet device. A rectangular piston 42 of this device, which is returned to the mid-position by springs 45, has a projection 42d, Fig. 4, on its top face which at the end-positions engage settable stop members 54, 54<1>. The latter are polygonal and are set by knobs outside the casing according to the predetermined plus and minus limits for the work. The square piston carries pivoted ratchets 49, 50, Fig. 3, which engage ratchet wheels 62, 63 keyed to the screwed spindle 60 Fig. 2, adjusting the tool-slide 12. The latter may also be adjusted by hand through the knob 65.

Title: Controlling braking of motor vehicles with electric drive
Inventor: WILLMAN KARL-HEINZ
IPC: B60T8/42
Filed: 1997-01-07
Abstract: The initial range of movement (T0-T1, Figure 6a) of the brake pedal of a hydraulic braking system in a vehicle with electric drive results in the drive motor(s) applying regenerative braking to the driven wheels, and very little or zero friction braking at the wheel brakes. This is achieved by opening outlet valves 126, 128 so that the pressure medium flowing to the wheel brake cylinders on brake pedal actuation is conducted into storage chambers 132. When the chambers are full, or when the outlet valves are closed, hydraulic pressure will build up at the wheel brakes. For panic braking, judged by speed of pedal actuation, the outlet valves do not open. Friction braking may be increased by activating pumps 136, if regenerative braking is to be reduced because the battery is fully charged. For anti-lock control, the drive motor(s) may switched briefly to drive.

Title: Gas discharge lamp drive circuit
Inventor: GREEN IAN MACDONALD
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: The drive circuit comprises a self-oscillating resonant inverter providing a drive voltage across an inductive load coil 6 which is coupled to an electrodeless discharge lamp (not shown). The inverter has FET's 1, 2 operating in anti-phase to drive a transformer 3, 4, 5 having a secondary 5 connected to coil 6; a resonant circuit including coil 6 and a capacitor 7; gate coupling components 10, 11, 12 forming a tank circuit for cancelling the reactive component of the load coupled to the inverter; a capacitive voltage divider 7, 8 which provides a given fraction of the load drive voltage to the gates of FET's 1, 2; and an inductor 9 connected in series with the tank circuit 10, 11, 12 and forming means for shifting the phase of the given fraction of the drive voltage. The inverter may run at a frequency above the resonant frequency of circuit 6, 7, with the drain load of FET's 1, 2 appearing inductive for efficient switching of the FET's. During starting prior to discharge in the lamp, the voltage across capacitor 7 attempts to rise to a high value causing conduction of voltage limiting zener diodes 13, 14, whereby a resistive component appears across capacitor 8 causing a phase shift resulting in an increase in frequency of the inverter, thus limiting the voltage across capacitor 7. The circuit can provide improved efficiency when driving a lamp from a DC voltage supply 19 (eg. a lead acid battery) which is not constant. The lamp may form a backlight for an LCD, a hazard beacon, or a vehicle signal.

Title: Half-pixel motion estimation
Inventor: AHNN JEONG-MO
IPC: H04N19/42
Filed: 1997-03-21
Abstract: The apparatus first generates an integer motion vector MVO with absolute error AEO based on a comparison of pixel blocks of the current image(fig 1B,1) with the pixels of the previous frame (2) in the form of a first search window (fig 1A,SW1'). A second search window (SW2') is formed based on the integer pixel motion vector MVO and an interpolator 100 produces half pixels b 0  1 ,b 1  0 ,b. Motion estimation is carried out between these half pixels and the reference pixels of the previous frame a(x,y),a'(x,y). Absolute errors are generated by calculating the differences between the pixels of the previous frame and the half pixels 221-228,(fig 6,251-253) and passing them to the absolute value calculator (253) before being stored in accumulators 231-238. The comparing and selecting means then compares the accumulated errors AE1-AE8 to the original error AEO and outputs a motion vector corresponding to the minimum absolute error(see table 1,page10).

Title: Method for producing starch by means of wet milling maize for regenerating waste rock piles consistging of sand
Inventor: LEE CHIE-YING
IPC: B02C2/00
Filed: 1992-03-27
Abstract: High-rate washing centrifuges are employed in a corn wet milling process to accomplish displacement washing of the starch and a sharp classification into starch and gluten. A Starch-Gluten Separation Station (C) directs the mixed starch-containing feed flow stream having a density of from 6°Be to 12°Be from an attrition mill of a stepping and Germ Separation Station (A) and a Fiber Washing and dewatering Station (B) directly to a first high wash rate classification centrifuge (61) capable of classifying the feed stream into a gluten-rich overflow stream which includes soluble protein and an underflow starch-rich stream. The flow of wash in the centrifuge is substantially completely countercurrent to the flow of feed solids, so as to effect separation of the gluten and starch components. The gluten-rich stream is forwarded to a gluten-thickening centrifuge (81) in which the overflow is process water and the gluten-rich underflow exits the Station for dewatering and further treatment. The starch-rich underflow stream of the first classification centrifuge is forwarded to a second high wash rate classification centrifuge (67) wherein the wash, supplied in a wash liquid to draw-off volume ratio in the range of 1 to 2, is countercurrent to flow of feed solids and wherein the overflow stream thereof contains a minor protein component and is in part returned to said first classification centrifuge (61) as wash liquid and in part is returned to the Fiber Washing Station (B) as process water. The starch-rich underflow at a density of from 14°Be to 22°Be is forwarded to the Starch Washing and Thickening Station (D) where it is subjected to treatment in multistage hydrocyclones with the overflow from the stages injected as wash liquid into said second classification centrifuge (67) and the underflow constituting the starch product.
